Post 5x08 "Coda". The group deals with the loss of Beth and Daryl is slowly distancing himself. Then one day, the strangest thing happens and his world is turned upside-down. [Coda fix-it fic. Bethyl slow burn. Rated M. Has been nominated for Moonshine Awards in a few categories, so thank you for that! :)]

..Daryl/Beth.. AU - no zombies. Beth needs to get away from everything and gets into her car, just driving with no destination in mind. She finds herself in a small Georgia town in the middle of nowhere and decides it's the perfect place to start over - especially when she gets a job at the town's diner and sees one of the regulars, sitting in his corner booth every night.
